Pros

Nothing to add here. It's a career death trap and a graveyard of wasted talents due to ongoing layoffs.

Cons

Five-Star Reviews, One-Star Reality: Don’t Fall for the Bait. Thinking of applying to Xplor? Before you start polishing your resume and dreaming about “exciting growth opportunities,” let’s address the elephant in the Glassdoor review section: the sudden wave of suspiciously positive reviews. If you’ve read them and thought, “Wow, this company sounds amazing!” — congratulations, you’ve just read corporate fan fiction. Why So Many Happy Employees All of a Sudden? Let’s be real: the same company that’s been hemorrhaging talent faster than their software crashes didn’t suddenly become a utopia overnight. The overly polished reviews, packed with buzzwords and eerily identical phrasing, are as organic as a gas station hot dog. They’re about as believable as someone claiming they “love every single meeting” and that “leadership is visionary.” Sure, and my cat just got promoted to CTO. Red Flags Dressed as Sunshine Notice how all these new reviews came out in a tight cluster? That’s not a coincidence—it’s a cleanup campaign. HR clearly realized the truth was leaking out and decided to counter it with a barrage of scripted positivity. Classic move: bury the ugly truth under a pile of fake smiles and “collaborative culture” nonsense. Pro tip: when multiple reviews use nearly identical language and hit every possible PR talking point (especially things like “great work-life balance,” “supportive leadership,” or “transparent communication”) — they’re not from employees, they’re from damage control. What You’re Really Walking Into The actual day-to-day? • Dysfunctional leadership • Clueless product strategy • Burnout disguised as "commitment" • Ongoing and relentless layoffs . Constant turnover (check LinkedIn — people are jumping ship faster than you can say “exit interview”) • And a culture held together by empty motivational slogans and broken promises Bottom Line If you want to work somewhere that values authenticity, transparency, and actual career growth—keep looking. Xplor’s new batch of reviews isn’t a reflection of reality. It’s the corporate version of putting lipstick on a pig and hoping no one notices it’s still oinking. Don’t fall for the fake hype. Ask real former employees. Ask the people who aren’t still trapped inside the chaos. Or better yet—trust your gut and steer clear.

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience at Xplor left you feeling so disappointed. We want to be clear: we value transparency, open feedback, and continuous improvement. Every review – positive or critical – is read, considered, and shared with the appropriate leaders across our business. That includes the concerns you’ve raised here. We’d also like to clarify a few points raised in your review. It’s not unusual for more detailed feedback to come from those who have had a difficult experience, and we completely understand why that’s the case. We categorically reject the suggestion that employee feedback is manufactured or orchestrated by us. We do not control or script what people write – nor would we want to. We encourage all Xplorers, former and present, to share honest reflections in their own words, and we respect the fact that those experiences can differ widely. We also understand that written responses can sometimes be perceived as polished or impersonal. The reality is, there are natural limits to how much detail we can share publicly – especially when it comes to internal matters or individual experiences. That doesn’t mean we’re not listening or acting behind the scenes. It’s also true that we are still on a journey. As you are aware, Xplor has grown rapidly and significantly through acquisition over the past four to five years, and while that growth brings opportunities, it also presents challenges and changes – and we know, these aren’t always easy. We have been investing heavily in leadership development, systems integration, and clearer internal communication – all with the aim of building a better experience for every Xplorer. However, some of these initiatives do not happen overnight and require time. If there were specific actions or behaviors you observed that concern you, we would encourage you to share them through our anonymous whistleblowing hotline: http://xplortechnologies.ethicspoint.com. This allows us to investigate issues confidentially and responsibly. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and we wish you the best in your future endeavors.

Pros

Like most companies with bad people, policies and led by ignorance there are some absolute legends on the front line and doing the grunt work day in and day out but are never recognised (Listened to) as they should be i.e. Neil, Mr Brown, Tracy, Clancy, Kosi, Meital, Emily G, Emily K, Stephany, Tom L, Kris B... There are others too. There is a lot of talk about culture at Xplor, but it's really only exhibited by some and ignored by those higher up who should really be believing in and living it, not just shoving it down their teams' throats because it came from Global. The software is OK, but slow-moving vs the competition in the world of improvements and communicating this to its customers but for the things it does... It looks good and does a pretty solid job... This puts immense pressure on the Sales, onboarding and Retentions teams which does not need to be sooo difficult but again it's the great people in these areas who make the magic happen but at a very draining cost to their own morale while wanting to do well by their customers but needing to deal with silly restrictions internally making their efforts way harder and less rewarding. Orbit Leave is a nice touch and various people have used it and it works!

Cons

Sales is mismanaged overall, but I believe that's changing as of today with a new leader (Good luck to you, I hope you make a difference). Targets were not communicated well multiple times, Sales OPS hardly ever got the numbers right and would incorrectly present numbers in team meetings which is idiotic!! The team would then be insulted in those meetings and there was no understanding of why or how the numbers were off for most situations. Targets had multiple increases during the quarter and commission structures were changed (In the negative) during QTR as well, absolutely destroying AE morale and hence a consistent turnover (You should not be losing an AE every 2 - 3 months, which clearly indicates a poor working environment but it was blamed on the people. Also if you don't have anything nice/professional to say about a previous employee... THEN DON'T SAY ANYTHING!! especially to their leader or teammates!). Team members were not paid correct commissions because another salesperson stole their deal or simply because "We can't afford to pay them X commission each month if they keep overachieving" (This sentence was the dumbest thing I've ever heard from a Sales manager ever!! She said this word for word!!). It's said a lot that culture is Xplor's priority but my experience was it's a selling point to new Xplorers but not the practice, especially when times get tough!! The Monday meetings don't work, it feels toxic (More so now than previously), Constant badgering and lifting of output targets when teams are underperforming does not equal better performance or outcomes, it's demoralizing and there's no real interest to understand WHY things are currently low... So ASK YOUR TEAMS!!. BOB goals are forced and not genuine, stop using SMART (Model) goals because they aren't written as valid SMART goals, they're handed down from the head of SME and used against you if possible but the employee doesn't want to write out said goal and yet the employee is forced to... This makes no sense. You're forcing them to put their name to something they don't believe they can deliver and then they fear punishment for something they would never normally agree to write down.

Very repetitive and unfulfilling

Pros

The support team members on my level were mostly kind and helpful. Adequate training was provided. Very understanding and accomodating when leave was needed urgently or unexpectedly.

Cons

Managers and recruiters lied during interview process which resulted in me accepting a job I specifically did not want to do because of what I was told. Extremely repetitive. The products are simply not good so you spend all day ‘fixing’ the same issues for customers over and over again and even when you pass on these trends, nothing seems to happen. Employees were made to sacrifice their lunch break one day a week (which they aren’t paid for) to have a team lunch via webcam which was awful. What management say and what they do changes day to day. After being told the job was not about taking the most calls per day, it quickly became all about that number but they still claim it ‘isn’t a call centre job’.

Hi there, We appreciate that you took time to share your feedback and are glad to hear you enjoyed the people you worked with – we think we’ve got some of the best people working at Xplor! We’re sorry to hear though that there were some parts of working at Xplor you didn’t enjoy. Xplor has grown by acquisition and we’re proud of the incredible products that help our customers grow their businesses and spend more time with their clients. In recent months, we’ve taken time to get our product roadmap right, listening to customers, the industry and Xplorer feedback, so that our products meet the needs of our customers now and into the future. We need to make sure we communicate clearly about these plans, so that Xplorers working on these products know that things are being done to constantly improve, while acknowledging the challenges that exist too. Thanks for your feedback about the onboarding process. We’ve been working to improve this and are about to launch the first phase of our global onboarding process, so that every new Xplorer gets the support they need. This includes having all our resources in one simple learning path on Udemy and a buddy scheme to help get connected in Xplor quickly, along with many of the other things you’d expect for a great onboarding. Our purpose is to help people succeed, and one of our goals is for Xplor to be a great place to work. While we’re still a young company and growing fast, your feedback is incredibly helpful as we keep making Xplor a better company. We wish you the best in your career and thank you again for sharing your experience on Glassdoor. Thanks. Stefan Welack Global Talent Operations Lead
